Health benefits of CBD

Part of the reason there has been so much controversy over CBD and the legalising of cannabis for medicinal purposes, often referred to as medical marijuana, is because of the separate medicinal benefits of THC and CBD, both of which are found in the cannabis plant.

Are there real health benefits of CBD?

We have to be careful here as while we sell CBD vape , also called CBD vape juice or CBD e-liquid, we cannot and will not make wild claims about its health benefits that contravene the law or are totally unfounded. The law dictates that you can claim a product is believed to have certain benefits, but until it has been tried and tested under strict medically and scientifically based controls and received approval from your country’s governing body, you cannot make outright claims. So far the US FDA have approved one CBD-based product, Epidiolex, prescribed for sever forms of epilepsy such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which don’t usually respond to antiseizure medications… Here at Puff Puff Liquids we are happy to abide by these rules and for now stick to claiming that we produce some of the best CBD vape juice, best CBD vape or best CBD e-liquid and rely on anecdotal evidence to underline that there would appear to be genuine health benefits associated with CBD.

What health benefits of CBD are evidence backed?

The law is strange in that CBD is not generally seen as an illegal substance when sold as a nutritional supplement – which CBD for vaping falls under – but is illegal when sold as a form of medication. The law has relaxed to the point that medical trials involving CBD can now take place, many of which are likely to confirm what is already suspected.

According to the European Journal of Pain, CBD can help to inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain, two of the hardest forms of pain to treat. Other research shows that CBD may also be capable of reducing inflammatory pain such as that experienced with arthritis.

CBD is recognised as seeming to reduce levels of anxiety, while also aiding those who suffer from insomnia or who struggle to sleep through the night. As you will see, the effects of CBD are very different from those effects of another substance derived from the cannabis plant, THC, as mentioned in our blog post CBD vs. THC – What’s the difference?

The benefits of CBD on those suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) is also being closely examined as a great many sufferers of MS have purportedly turned to smoking or ingesting cannabis to relieve symptoms of the disease.

The Depression Alliance also reports that CBD oil can have positive effects on those suffering from depression, while it has also been reported to lower blood pressure.

Is CBD safe?

It’s all very well to promote the benefits of a substance, but whether it is safe is as important a question to ask as are its health benefits. A report from the World Health Organization (WHO) states that: “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential…. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”
